Principal Notes April 13, 2017

Dear Families,
We are beginning to finally see the signs of spring. The days are getting longer, the sun is shining and we are slowing, oh, so very slowly warming up. Soon we will be moving from the dark season of Lent into the brilliant light of the Easter season.
Please join us today, Holy Thursday at 10:00 in the church where our 8th graders, under the guidance of Mr. Newman, continue the tradition of performing the Living Stations.
Financial Assistance is available, based on need, to active contributing parish families. Need determination takes into account various factors that affect a family's available funds, as well as a family's gift of time and talent. We have contracted with FACTS to provide us with a fair, impartial, confidential and consistent analysis of each financial aid application. This application is available as a link on the school website. Applications must be submitted by May 12, 2017 and are the only way to be considered for tuition assistance from the parish for the 2017-2018 school year.
Today is our last day of school before the Easter break. Enjoy your time off. Rest, relax and come back ready to finish up the school year. The school office will be closed during this time. We will see you back on Monday, April 24th.
Have a Blessed Triduum and Happy Easter!
